Episode 3 - Mark Richards on the Evolution of Software Architecture

My guest today is my good friend Mark Richards. Mark is an independent hands-on software architect, with 20 of his 30 years of experience in the industry playing some type of architecture role on a myriad of different software projects. He is the author of several books including Java Message Service, 2nd Edition, and is featured in the book 97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know. In addition to that he is a frequent speaker on the conference circuit (which is how we met), and gives various extremely popular software architecture trainings around the world. In this episode we discuss his keynote from the O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference in London, which took place in October 2016.
